Dude, my polling place is a middle school cafeteria (in blue and orange!) with models of the Wright planes hanging from the ceiling. They are festooned with dust and milk cartons probably older than I am.

And it smells like a middle school cafeteria.

My polling place was an apartment building community room with a ping-pong table.

Mine is the middle school auditorium where I used to counsel. Thankfully close to home and in an active area. It always feels so festive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Last time around, there was a little kid who went to the school showing off different things to her mom. Cute!

I keep meaning to go to the new Applebee's by me, but have yet to actually go. And I don't think today's going to be the day, either. Maybe I'll have tuna salad for lunch. Hm.

My voting place is the gym of the local Lutheran church/school.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My lunch (already consumed): turkey, avocado, and lettuce in a wrap; corn chowdah; and string cheese (because I love feeling like I'm eviscerating my food). Later? An orange. Possibly yogurt.

Our wings are not tired.

We vote at a Baptist church. I don't do the early voting thing because I always enjoy the friendly poll people and invariably run into my neighbors. It's a nice social event thing.

It is pouring rain. Has been for 2 days. This is a wonderful thing because we need it badly. Unfortunately for me, it would appear something isn't sealed quite right in my car because I have puddles on the floor. Ugh. Perhaps in the months between this and the next rainfall I can figure out what the problem is. I fear it may get moldy smelling though. Ugh again.

But huge booming thunder storms that only sometimes take out power and internet! Whee!

We had rain last night. Wonderful rain. Glorious rain. There's nothing like the driest year in the state's history to make you appreciate rain.

Today, however, it is 30, windy and gray.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am on my second box of Kleenex at work. I've only been here a month and a half.

IOgoodN - I found a monthly bill for something we no longer need, so now we are cancelling it and saving a tiny bit of money.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Our ice storm has turned into cold, drizzly rain.
